Just to be clear, are some closing tags optional or are all closing tags optional? If the former, how do you know which?

In this case, the schema probably disallows any other tags inside <line>, which makes </line> superfluous and it can thus be omitted. If <stanza>s are not recursive and poems cannot contain <line>s outside <stanza>s, </stanza> can also be omitted. Etc etc.

You work it out from the schema - if it is not ambiguous you can omit it.
